Speaking This Year

Forty voices. One question.

What does the future look like when it is imagined by us?

The Latimer Futures Summit speaker list is built like a working session, not a stage show. Astronauts sit next to fund managers. Filmmakers sit next to research professors. The mix is the method. Every voice on this list has built something the rest of us already use, or is building something the rest of us will need.
